I'm working 8 hours a week under the permitted work rules. I've been offered a job that would be an additional 15 hours thus taking me off incapacity benefit. Previously I could have taken the job with a safety net if it didn't work out because of my ill health - I'd just go back on IB (104 week linking rules). <br /><br />Now it's like jumping off a cliff. I honestly don't know if I can do this job and right now I think I'm going to have to turn it down. If I had the safety net I might give it a try confident that if it turned out I wasn't well enough I could go back on IB. <br /><br />Better off in work?

If you put something on a blog it has to be considered in the public domain and is therefore quotable.<br /><br />However reproducing entire blog posts and passing them off as your own is plagiarism. There may be certain cases in which the author might consent to a post being reproduced (perhaps, as an example, in a disability organisation's offline newsletter). But consent must be sought and proper credit given.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714918894319998184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-66957926521230613992011-01-22T17:26:03.024+00:002011-01-22T17:26:03.024+00:00It's a balancing act, we want the word to get ...It's a balancing act, we want the word to get out, but we want to have the right to stop it being twisted against us should that become necessary. <br /><br />There was a case a few years ago on Ouch! where a hack from one of the Tory rags cherry-picked comments there to use against disabled people, so it is a real concern.DavidGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11734028655032503805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999633524276247455.post-7470081950320994882011-01-21T19:16:14.741+00:002011-01-21T19:16:14.741+00:00Oh!
